You’ve probably visited hidden bars and cafes in Kuala Lumpur but have you been to a hidden Chinese Hokkien restaurant? Pu Yuan Restaurant 炒薯粉小食馆 is one of the hidden gems here in Old Klang Road. If you’re a banana (just like me), you’d probably struggle your way around to find it unless you’ve got someone else who reads Chinese.
It’s so secluded making it seems like here’s a spot known only to the locals who lives around here. Entering this restaurant is almost like stepping into the era of the early 70s.
As secluded as this restaurant may look, it has appeared on plenty of newspaper articles and TV shows like, Ho Chiak where they’ve awarded them with their chopstick not just once but twice. Some years back it was also mentioned a few times in local culinary magazines.
At first glance it actually does looked like Char Kuey Teow. This dish is filled with ‘wok hei’ and divulge into the beautifully kneaded sweet potato dough then stir fry along with some dark soy sauce, prawns, pork and cabbage, not forgetting some generous amount of crispy pork lard that made this dish so special. The texture of the noodle was great as it wasn’t too soft but nice chewy texture to it.
This dish was stir-fried almost the same as the ‘Chao Shu Fen’ except its using something like one of the Korean delicacy, Garaeddeok often used for Ddeokbokki. That texture is absolutely addictive as they are just so fantastically chewy and accompanied with some pork slices.
A quick simple stir-fry is always the tastiest with some nice garlic flavors to it.
Next, deep-fried Century Eggs stuffed with Fish Paste, Shrimps and Salted Egg Yolk. This is so good! I could imagine myself having this dish in wedding dinners.
It is perfect to have it just by its own without anything else.
